Chapter 434: My Disciple is from Daoist Sect Yunzhi
The governor's house is located in the center of Hanshui City, which is the power center of Huangzhou. The house has seven entrances and seven exits, and is surrounded by protective formations inside and out.
This is both the governor's residence and his office. While walking around the house, Lu Yang saw many officials in a hurry, taking off and landing with documents in their arms, and they were very busy.
This is not just walking fast, but really flying.
Before meeting with the governor of Huangzhou, Lord An had already informed the governor of the intelligence. As soon as the governor saw Qiu Jinan and others, he warmly greeted them and shook hands.
Lord An still has to arrange a city-wide search for Master Meng Tian, so he will take his leave first.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I've long heard of your great name! My last name is Lu, with a given name of Ke, and people call me Old Lu." Governor Lu was a talkative man. Although he had been busy around the clock due to the recent plagues and disasters, he was still energetic and showed no signs of fatigue.
"Hello, Lord Lu." Qiu Jinan smiled and did not call him Old Lu.
The last person who was so familiar with him was the Nine Sons of the Wendao Sect, who left a deep impression on him.
Qiu Jinan's father was the leader of the Five Elements Sect in the previous generation. When he was young, he accompanied his father to visit the Wendao Sect, where he met the enthusiastic Nine Sons of the Wendao Sect.
At that time, he was young and ignorant, and he didn't know how to judge people. He didn't realize that the nine disciples of the Wendao Sect were all up to no good. The sixth elder Fengya was the only exception. She was out of place among the nine disciples of the Wendao Sect, but she was always involved in bad deeds.
So he is very wary of people who are too familiar with him.
"You said that the previous governor had to hold a birthday party for his daughter and invited quite a few people. It would have been fine if he had just invited people, but he also brought a lot of gifts and did not report it to the court in advance. Now look, he has been dismissed and imprisoned, and several responsible officials and several big sects in Huangzhou have been imprisoned as well." Governor Lu complained.
This is also one of the reasons why it is too busy now. There is a shortage of manpower, temporary replacements for key positions, and scheduling difficulties. Even the ghost plague has to rely on the nearest corpse-driving sect for help.
"Old Xu, who has been on leave for a long time, oh, that is, the Minister of Justice, has finally rested enough and is dealing with them."
The Minister of Justice announced to the public that an old friend had died suddenly and he wanted to ask for leave to see him for the last time.
"As a result, His Majesty no longer trusts the officials of Desolate State, and he pulled me, a person in charge of finances and grain, to take over. As a result, I had no choice but to leave the Imperial City and go to Desolate State."
"By the way, I was the only one talking. I didn't have the chance to ask who these young men are." Lu Zhoumu came to his senses and noticed Lu Yang and the others.
"These three are disciples of the Asking Dao Sect. They are considered my juniors. I am helping to look after them. This is Zhao Po, a disciple of the Grand Elder of the Driving Corpse Sect. He also witnessed the entire battle just now."
When he heard that Lu Zhoumu was an official in the imperial capital, Qiu Jinan did not say that Lu Yang was a disciple of Master Bu Yu.
"You have a solid foundation and your golden elixir is full. You are all excellent young men." Lv Zhou Mu nodded and praised them. "Please ask Brother Qiu to tell us about the battle just now."
This is the most important thing at the moment.
Qiu Jinan recounted in detail the process of Lu Yang meeting Huang Ming, defeating Huang Ming, Master Meng Tian taking action, and how he was defeated by Master Meng Tian.
"So, it was True Lord Meng Tian who went around to capture evil ghosts and threw them into our Hanshui City?" Governor Lu was furious and finally found the culprit who was busy today.
No wonder there are so many evil ghosts. I’m afraid that all the ghosts in Daxia have been captured, and even the ghosts in the East China Sea have not been spared!
There’s no way this can be cleaned up!
"The ghost plague in Hanshui City cannot be caused by one person. I suspect he has accomplices." Qiu Jinan said.
"They are sure that I have just taken office and am not yet proficient in using the power of national destiny!" Mu Lu did not know about the power of national destiny before. It was only when he recently took office as Emperor Xia that he was told about it.
"Also, we should pay attention to Huang Ming who has dispersed his power and started to cultivate again. In the past, we only focused on the ancient cultivators in the Fusion Stage and ignored the possibility that some of them had dispersed their power and started to cultivate again!"
Lü Zhoumu sighed, "It's useless to notice it. Dispersing their power and starting over is like being reborn. It's hard to find their roots."
"Forget it. I will submit a report to the court later on the matter of dispersing my power and retraining. Now the most urgent task is to deal with the ghost problem."
"Before, I thought the ghost plague was caused by the Jiuyou Sect. After all, the Jiuyou Sect has many ghosts of its own. Now that it is confirmed that it was done by the Dayu monk, the matter is serious. The Dayu monk does not raise ghosts. They have gone to great lengths to capture evil ghosts in various places and throw them into Hanshui City. It should not be as simple as causing trouble. There must be other purposes!"
Governor Lu had a gloomy look on his face, and he wished he could tear these Dayu monks into pieces.
"Excuse me, is it possible that they are setting up a formation?" Lu Yang raised his hand and asked cautiously.
"Formation?" Lu Zhoumu and Qiu Jinan were both stunned, chewing on these two words, as if they had thought of something.
When Lu Yang was in Yanjiang County, the then leader of Yanjiang County, who was also the county magistrate, set up formations throughout the county in an attempt to absorb the life span of the entire county and increase its strength.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang asked this question.
"It is indeed possible that they are setting up a formation!" Lu Zhoumu slapped his thigh. He had been so busy these days that he didn't think of this.
He came to a huge sand table and clapped his hands gently. The sand shook and rose and fell like sand waves, and finally took shape, turning into the appearance of Han Shui City.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
He took out a handful of small flags from his arms and threw them onto the sand table. Where the small flags landed was where there was a disaster caused by ghosts.
The type and level of the ghost are also marked above each flag.
"Hiss, looking at it this way, it really does look a bit like a formation." Seeing that Lu Yang's guess was very likely the answer, Governor Lu was overjoyed.
"As expected of you, you are a disciple of the Daoist Sect. A good teacher produces a good student. I wonder who your teacher is from the Daoist Sect?"
Lu Yang: “…”
Before Lu Yang told the truth, he wanted to know how big the hatred between Lu Zhoumu and his master was.
"I am a disciple of Yunzhi from the Daoist sect."
Lu Yang respects his teacher and dares not mention his master's name when he is out.
Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang with disdain, what a shameless person he was.
"Yunzhi? This name sounds familiar." Lu Zhoumu thought for a moment. He had never heard of an elder named Yunzhi among the Taoist sect.
"Master rarely leaves the sect, and few people in the world know about her."
"So that's how it is."
Governor Lu no longer wanted to recall who Yunzhi was. Neither he nor Qiu Jinan was good at formations. He ordered his men to invite the formation master in the city to study what formation the Dayu monk had set up in the city.
Soon, several old men with white beards were invited over and stood beside the sand table to observe and deduce.
Fortunately, these formation masters are all male practitioners.
Several formation masters joined forces and quickly came to a preliminary conclusion. After listening to the preliminary conclusions of these formation masters, Lv Zhoumu said to Qiu Jinan, his expression more relaxed than when they first met: "Little friend Lu's guess is correct. The Dayu cultivator is indeed setting up a formation, but it is a lost formation. It will take some time to deduce the effect and the method to break it. You and I will wait for a moment."
Seeing that the time was right, Qiu Jinan cupped his hands and said, "Since I have some free time, Lord Governor, can you let me use the power of national destiny with this kid?"
